[The Chief]

The conversation about the Puerto Rican jobbers is hilarious. I love these shows.

Finally getting to this. Really enjoyed the comparison of Bruno and Backlund, and how it morphed into comparing Brisco to Backlund. Really good discussion there lads.

[King Solomon]

Yes great show, entertaining as always. I have always been more of a Backlund guy than Bruno guy due to my taste in wrestling style. I love Backlunds power moves and dare I say athletic ability even Tho I know this is a worked sport lol!

What happened to the New Year's resolution Johnny? I'd be disappointed if it wasn't funny stuff.
